Cain's eyes were sharp as he swam into the underwater cave. He had advanced less than one hundred ters when the feeling of danger increased exponentially, making him stop and raise his guard.
Imdiately, Cain adopted a battle position, ready to strike anything that would co closer. Nothing showed up, but the feeling of danger did not fade, making Cain's awareness reach an all-ti high. He stood unmoving, pushing his perception to the limit, relying on his Ego Wave, dominion over space, and the [Multidinsional Scan Force Field] to inspect the surroundings, but nothing appeared.
After enough ti and seeing that no one appeared, Cain glanced at the path forward and saw how light faded, and even he could only see darkness. The next second, he turned to the exit and every instinct he had told him to leave.
Usually, Cain would listen to his instincts, as they had saved his life countless tis, but now it was different. There was sothing off, and a flash of resolution appeared in Cain's eyes after a mont as he continued marching forward, going deeper into the underwater cave.
It did not take long for Cain's surroundings to beco completely dark, and he could not even see his hands. If that was not enough, his Ego Wave was not correctly working, and his domain over space was only powerful enough to stop him from going in circles.
Luckily for Cain, while this place's sensory deprivation was formidable, it could not hinder the power of the Absolute Life Form Sistem, and the [Multidinsional Scan Force Field] showed him everything.
The more Cain advanced, the more his instincts scread for him to turn around and escape from this place, never to co back and forget its existence entirely. Anyone else would have fallen to those screams, but Cain was unlike anyone else in Aether.
He was the Scarlet King, and his power was paramount in Aether, so no matter how powerful and dangerous the person, things, or phenona that were waiting for him at the end of this underwater cave, he was sure to at least be able to escape alive.
Cain continued advancing for nearly thirty minutes, and even if he had been moving at a moderate speed, he would have still reached the middle of the Crystal Sector. With every ter he drove, his instincts scread louder, and doubts and hesitations seemingly arose from his subconscious. A quiet voice whispered in his mind that this was too dangerous.
There were too many people relying on him, and he could not take this risk.
It was so subtle that it initially fooled Cain, who thought it might just be his consciousness trying to guide him to safety. However, by this point, he had already begun to feel sothing was wrong with how his instincts worked.
There was no way that soone could be so dangerous as to trigger his instincts for half an hour and yet no one appear in his sight this entire ti, so it had to be sothing else.
'I bet it is this place. Soone transford this underwater cave into a unique natural formation capable of affecting the mind of anyone who dared to go through this path. This power, I have felt before.'
Cain's eyes turned cold, as these types of emotional forces were characteristic of the Depravita Race!
'Right around when I was in Kronos, and the Blood God vanished, Horus had arrived with the Royal Family of the Inferno Daemon Empire.'
Back then, Cain had not given it too much importance. After all, he knew nothing about the Seven Sons of the Dark Emperor, but things have changed. Horus Ekleipsis did nothing without a purpose, and his short trip to the Atrox Immortus Empire was no different.
Whatever Horus' purpose back then was, it must be connected to this place. That was all the motivation Cain needed to find out what was at the end of this underwater cave, and he carried on.
The voices in his mind shouted louder and louder while his instincts practically scread with all their strength, both urging Cain to leave this place. But he did not do such a thing and continued until his eyes finally narrowed, and he stopped his advance.
'There is sothing a few ters ahead of . It feels like a parallel dinsion, but not quite.'
Cain took a deep breath and analyzed the dinsion before him with his Collapsing Space-Ti Eye and the Multidinsional Scan Force Field. He did not dare to touch it or use his Ego Wave out of fear of altering the person who created it.
It took a few minutes for Cain to deduce the nature of the phenonon in front of him.
'It is a secondary dinsion. Although it takes the sa dinsions as the primary plane of existence as its foundation, it is like an entirely different place. Even I would not have noticed it without my Collapsing Space-Ti Eye and Absolute Life Form System.'
Cain stood in the periphery of the dinsional barrier for a few minutes as he analyzed its structure. While he was set on figuring out what was happening, the Depravita Race was one of the few things in Aether that could put his life in real danger.
'I think I can enter without being detected if I fold a dinsion cocoon around myself by mimicking the fabric of the dinsional barrier. However, trying to leave will be extrely dangerous once I am inside as the dinsion barrier will behave as a form of cage.'
A sharp light appeared in Cain's eyes as he was ready to face whatever might be on the other side.
"Worst-case scenario, I could use that. It will be dangerous, but it should work since this place is technically in the main plane of existence. Let's hope I am not pushed to such an extre asure."
Cain summoned his red mask, and began manipulating the fabric of space around himself, mimicking the dinsional barrier.
